MEDIUMTYPO3 Cross-Site Scripting in Backend Modal Component
Blast Radius
typo3/cms🐘typo3/cms🐘typo3/cmsReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects Packagist packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
Failing to properly encode user input, notifications shown in modal windows in the TYPO3 backend are vulnerable to cross-site scripting. A valid backend user account is needed in order to exploit this vulnerability.
Affected Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Vulnerable range | Fix |

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for typo3/cms. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.
Fix
Update typo3/cms to 7.6.32 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-7q33-hxwj-7p8v is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
How O3 protects you
O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-7q33-hxwj-7p8v is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.
Tailored to GHSA-7q33-hxwj-7p8v. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is GHSA-7q33-hxwj-7p8v in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-7q33-hxwj-7p8v across Packagist dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
